The effect of limestone was studied by replacing portland cement with a ground limestone in concrete with different limestone replacement (15–30% by mass of binder), water/binder ratio (0.42–0.61) and binder content (250–400 kg/m 3). On the basis of results of experimental tests for the materials employed in this study, the following ...
One of the most important constituent used in the production of concrete is ordinary Portland cement (OPC). With increase in demand of construction, the utilization of concrete is also increasing day by day, while these leads to withdrawal of materials such as lime, gypsum, sand and crushed aggregates etc. as a result of these increase in pollution in the environment rises …
In this study, the effects of micro- and nano-CaCO3 addition on the early-age properties of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) cured at simulated cold and normal field conditions were investigated. The micro-CaCO3 was added at rates of 0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 %, while the nano-CaCO3 was added at rates of 0, 2.5, and 5 %, both as partial volume …
Due to the low activity of limestone powder, the proportion of reaction participation was small; limestone powder instead of cement reduces the content of OPC, thereby decreasing the hydration products per unit volume of cementitious material, indicating a dilution effect [6], [39]. The aluminate reaction, characterized by the shoulder on the ...
Effects of limestone addition on the hydration of limestone blended cement can be classified into two aspects, viz. physical effects and chemical effects. Numerous researchers who investigated Portland limestone cement with high level of calcite addition regard it as inert filler, e. g. by means of both thermal and BSE image analysis, it was ...
The application of limestone powder as an SCM for the partial replacement of cement has mostly been examined for OPC, but other types of cement, such as moderate sulfate-resistant portland cement (Type II), high-early strength portland cement (Type III), and low-hydration heat portland cement (Type IV), have not been studied adequately.
However, limestone's effect on cement-treated clay has yet to be addressed comprehensively. This paper presents the effects of uncalcined limestone of different sizes on the particle size distribution, consistency indices, and the UCS of cement-treated clay composites at curing periods of 1, 3, 7, and 28 days.
During the hydration process, the net reaction heat of limestone waste in the cement blends ranged from 0.38 J/g to 4.1 J/g. In addition, the thermodynamic modeling and XRD indicated that the monocarbonate and hemicarbonate were stable in the limestone-cement blends, and the limestone waste increased the stability of ettringite.
In cement manufacturing, a lot of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere creates a global warming problem. To solve this problem partly, calcined clay-limestone cement concrete can be used.
Halloysite is a clay mineral that has a nanosized tubular morphology and high pozzolanic activity, and its calcination product can be used as a supplementary cementitious material in limestone calcined clay cement (LC 3).In this study, the effects of the calcination temperature of halloysite, gypsum content, and water/binder (W/B) ratio on the mechanical …
The effects of limestone powder addition on the hydration and strength properties of OPC have been studied by various research groups, which found that its presence increased the hydration rate of Portland cement during early age stages [3], [4].
